Moody Towers (Towers), is the largest complex of the residence halls and accommodates more than 1,100 students. The two 18-story buildings are joined by a main lobby, the Commons. The majority of the rooms house two occupants. Single rooms are limited to upper-level and graduate students. Rooms have non-moveable furniture. The Towers are single-gender floors, each sharing a community bathroom. Most floors have a lounge with a television. The first floor is wheelchair accessible. Live-in staff includes two professional Area Coordinators (AC's), 2 Hall Directors and 32 student Resident Assistants (RA's).
The Commons. The Commons is a large open area between the two towers where students can meet. Several events are held in the Commons during the year. The Area Coordinator's (AC) Office is found here. You can find two hallways leading to the Horizons cafeteria. On the ground floor, you will find the Towers Service Center and the FIRM Fitness Center.
Pricing. Pricing for out-of-state and international students is the same. Prices shown are based on a full academic year agreement (Fall & Spring semesters). Residents will pay for one semester at a time (half the Academic Year price is charged to the student's fee bill each semester). The meal plan is also charged in the same manner and at the same time as the room charge (half the Academic Year price is charged to the student's fee bill each semester). Students enrolled for Summer Session I or IV may reside on-campus during that session for half the Summer rate. For current pricing please check our room rates.
Security. All residents are required to use their Cougar 1Card to gain entry to the tower in which they reside. This prevents unauthorized people from entering residential areas. A Desk Assistant is stationed at each tower's entrance 24 hours a day. Residents will receive a unique key to access their room. The key must be used to lock and unlock the door from the hallway; a latch operates the lock from inside the room. The door has a peep hole. Each floor has an RA. UH has its own police department that offers an escort service.
Smoking. The RLH facilities are smoke-free. Residents are not allowed to smoke in the buildings.
Floor Plans. Floors 1 through 15 are similarly configured with mostly double rooms, with slight variances for the 1st and 15th floor. Floors 16 and 17 are mostly single rooms. Super single rooms are the same size as double rooms, located on various floors.
